Hi Michael,

 

>>>He only has a small table of specifcs/PUFA for illustrative purposes,

but here it is:

 

DOMESTIC MEAT PUFA % of Total FA

Beef.............2

Pork............10

Lamb.............3

Veal.............4

Chicken.........17

 

WILD GAME

Cape Buffalo....30

Eland...........35

Hartebeest......32

Giraffe.........39

Kangaroo........36

Warthog.........43

Caribou.........22

Grouse..........60

 

 

****Wow! Very interesting info. Thanks for taking the time to post it.

 

>>>>>Very interesting because they all have much higher levels of PUFA

than grain fed farm raised animals which I thought would have been

reversed.

 

***Well, actually they have much lower LEVELS of PUFAs, but higher RATIOS,

which I assume is what you meant? Because the total body fat is so much

lower, then of course the *levels* of each category of fatty acid is lower.

 

>>>>>He does say that a survey of 43 species on 3 continents reveals a

4.3% fat percentage which validates what you have below.

 

He says that they would get 70g of fat a day, 30g from animals, 40g

from vegetables (presumably including nuts/seeds).

 

He also says that their fat consumption ratios are:

 

P:M:S = 7:8:5

P:S = 7:5

U:S = 3:1

Total fat as % of calories: 20-25%

 

 

***Great information! THanks again for posting this. May I have permission

to crosspost it to my dog and cat health list?
